Notification of transactions of Directors/Persons discharging managerial responsibility and connected persons

On 9 July 2012 members of the senior management team were granted awards over Ordinary Shares in the Company pursuant to the Rules of the Performance Share Plan 2012 as approved at the Annual General Meeting on 11 June 2012. No payment was required for the grant of the awards which were made in the form of nil cost options (ie no exercise price is payable when the options are exercised.)

As was reported as the intention of the Company in the Remuneration Committee Report contained within the Annual Report and Accounts 2012, two awards were made to all participants.

The value of each award was calculated by reference to the average mid market price of an Ordinary Share of the Company over five consecutive dealing days immediately preceding the award date, being 72.34 pence.

The first award ("Award 1") is subject to performance conditions measured over a two year performance period and the second award ("Award 2") is subject to performance conditions measured over a three year performance period. Each award will vest in three equal annual tranches over a three year period, the first tranche of Award 1 vesting on 11 June 2014 and the first tranche of Award 2 vesting on 11 June 2015. Each Award will vest by reference to performance over the performance period against two separate performance conditions:

·; 50% of the award will vest by reference to the Company's Total Shareholder Return over the performance period ranking relative to a Comparator Group of Real Estate Investment Trusts approved by the Remuneration Committee; and

·; 50% of the award will vest by reference to the Company's EPRA Net Asset Value per share growth from investing in the Company over the performance period ranking relative to the same Comparator Group.

In accordance with DTR 3.1.4, the Company announces that the Executive Directors to whom awards were made are detailed in the table below:

R.P. Lowes now holds, in aggregate, options over 1,105,426 Ordinary Shares of the Company.
